Lewis Builders Wins Prestigious Safety Award
At the 2019 Annual Construction Safety Awards, the Associated Builders and Contractors awarded Lewis Builders for its commitment to safety.
On June 13, 2019, the Associated Builders and Contractors NH/VT chapter hosted their 2019 Annual Construction Safety Awards. Lewis Builders received first place for an award regarding having zero cases resulting in lost workdays in the SIC 15 100,000 – 200,000 personnel-hours category. SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) 15 is the category for building construction.
In years previous, Lewis Builders has been awarded for their commitment to workplace safety, winning second place in 2018 in the same category, first place in 2017, and third place in 2016. The company has been at the forefront of safety education for its employees and continues to take pride in making sure everyone who works for the company practices smart safety techniques.
Below is a statement from Al Goldstein, head of the Safety Committee at Lewis Builders:
“ The safety committee meets quarterly. We are made up of members from different departments throughout the company. We focus on many things to support the well-being of our associates. We look to make sure we have the correct safety equipment to protect our team. We look at training to make sure our associates know how to correctly use the equipment we provide. We also look at the tools needed to do our job safely such as Arc flash gear and safety harnesses for those working up high. We review different incident scenarios to see what could have been done differently and consider what we can do in the future to prevent these accidents from happening.
“ We offer a handful of informative training programs including CPR, First Aid, Fork Truck, Powder actuated tools, and OSHA 10 and specialized classes as needed. We also look at Toolbox Talks and send them to our staff on a weekly basis. Another thing we look at is the job safety reports generated as part of a walk-through of our facilities and job sites. These give us an idea that our associates are working hard to perform at a high level of best practices .”
Lewis Builders also creates and shares informative content that we post on social media and our blog post. Visit our Facebook , Instagram , and LinkedIn pages for more information about our commitment to safety.
